Be it known that I, MARTIN K. PAsCO, a

citizen of the United States, residing at New Britain, in the, county o f-Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements 1n Goat- Sweaters, of which the following is a spec fi- & cation.

vMyinvention relates to improvements in coat sweaters and the mamobyect of my improvements is to produce a coat. sweater of a n s w s yl, especia ly der' an outer coat, and with the combined border 8* the rear and is shown in part by breakcollar and border of my coat sweater. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a side view of the same with the collar buttoned still higher and rolled at a still higher point. Fig. 4 is a like view of the same partly broken away with the collar buttoned up stil lhigher and rolled at a still higher point. Fig. 5 is a broken View of the combined collar and border before it is sewed upon the body of the coat. Fig. 6 is a broken view of' the same before the collar portion is seamed and before the button holes are made and the buttons sewed on. I

The body A of the coat is of an ordinary form of low necked coat sweater made of a knit fabric. Instead of the usual border for the front and neck portion made of a uniform width from end .to end with the ulster collar seamed to its neck portion, I make the ulster collar or high collar 7 and front borders 8 and 8 of a single piece and preferably of a seamless knit tube while the collar portion is knit flat and widened from the said border portions toward the middle to the desired width. If the combined collar and border is tubular and then fiatted as shown in Fig. 5 it will be of two thicknesses from end to end. In addition to such flattening the collar is shown in Fig. 5 as folded transversely at the middle of its length, the border 8 for the right hand side of the coat being in front while the for the left hand side is at Appl ca ion mamma y 2 ,1912; S ri 1 79,030.

'ing, out a portion of the right hand border.

"Specification of Letters Patent. NQV- 6 V I The left hand border 83* is provided with;

buttonhol'es 8 and the right hand border .8 with buttons 8 for the b dy of thecoat, Whiletwo other buttons 8}? are sewed upon the collar at points above the larger body butt ons. I also provide the edge of the cQllar with button loops 8 for use inconnection with the buttons 8 on the collar.

' I prefer to makethe'button holes and sew on" the t ile he c mbin d e la and o der de ched fr m t b dy of the coat. The combined collar and border is sea ed both-e i atbody by i straight edge as shown in Fig. 1 the seam being-in dic tad h the cha ter 9 This com ne Qlhrand bQrd b kn t n any inary manner. I I prefer to knit the collar portion fiatandsthe-border portions in a seamless tube as shown in Fig. 6. The col lar portion is then formed into a tube by bringing the opposite edges together and seaming them. This is done when the knit fabric is wrong side out andthen the entire tube is turned right side out. The seam 7 is'shown in Fig. 5 near the edge of the collar. This seam is on the inner surface of the collar and will show when the collar is turned down.

When a border is used that extends from the bottom' upwardly, on one side then around the neck and downwardly on the other side of the front, and of uniform width throughout, the seam where the collar is seamed thereto comes at or near the point where the collar is folded outwardly orrolled over at the lowest line of roll. Such seam will make the collar roll differently than it would if there were no such seam near the line of roll. A seam in the collar and border,either longitudinal or transverse that comes near to line of roll will affect the appearance of the roll to a greater or less extent.

By my improvement the finished combined collar and border is formed of a sin gle piece of a uniform material, finish and thickness throughout, whereby the collar rolls over so smoothly and evenly at all points as to present a neat and attractive appearance in all of the various positions.

Figs. 1 and 2 show the combined collar and border rolled over at its lowermost line of fold, the coat being buttoned by the body buttons only.

Figiie shows the collar 'rolledover on its median line of'fold the lower part of the collar then being buttoned by the jlower most collar button and loop". When the top one of the collar buttons and loop aregbut ,v toned the collar may be rolled over on its uppermost line of told as shown in Fig; 4-

. and'if desired inay be rolled up from this L line and'stand up without any roll or fold- I claim as my invention 1. A coat sweater comprising aunit which constitutes 1 a combined high collar and front border in one piece oftubular knit fabric, the said unit having one Straight edgej while' the opposite edge is provided with offsets at the upper ends of tile 01117 border portions, and a knit fabric coat sweater body, the said combined collar and border unit being secured to theedge of the said coat sweater body by the said straight throughout and border composed-of a single piece of knit fabric only, the same being in the form of a flattened tube having one straight edge, the lbor de r 'portion beingseamless tubes and the collar portion having al0'n-' gitudinal seam near that edge which is opposite the said straight edge,'the complete border; and collar having two thicknesses only, both thicknesses being of uniform ma- .terial-. and. finish throughout their entire p length. v

3. A" coat sweater comprising in combinat1on a knlt fabric coat sweater 'body,.and,a

Y collar and border member, thesaidbollarand border member comprising in one piece of continuoustubular formation from end? to end, two'front border portions interconnected by a collar portion, the'said collar portion being generally of 'appreciably greater width than the border'po'rtions and merging at the ends by a tapered'formation into the said border portions and thesaid collar and border-member being flattened and secured byone edge to the free-edge portion of thesaid coat sweater body. 7
